so falls a titan

Since 1588, the English Royal Navy has been one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, naval forces on the face of the planet.  It helped support an empire upon which the sun never set; [...]

As those of you who read this weblog know, I support both evolution and creationism, so I cannot entirely agree with the image I am posting below.  That said, it is funny as hell.

The image is [...]

*whimper*

Due to the spoiler-laden nature of this post, the rest of it is continued below the [...]

16 in binary = ?

Well, I have to admit, when I launched this weblog (or, more specifically, this domain, since my last hosting company decided to stab me in the back mid-stride), I never would have seen this day coming.  I mean, I like [...]

lord of the (hanging) rings

As I previously mentioned, I grabbed a few free tickets to go see Peaceful Warrior this weekend.  Well, more specifically, yesterday, but since Fridays count as "weekends" when it comes to movies, I am close enough to [...]

remember, pillage then burn

In light of the positively sucky few days I have been having, I thought I would share some of the humor I regularly partake in online. That is to say, I would take the lazy way out of writing [...]

why am I not surprised?… or am I?

So I, along with most of the local, regional, national, and global news agencies around the world, reported a few days ago that Iranian forces in the Persian Gulf effectively kidnapped, at the point of a set of very large-caliber [...]

can i have one?

Like any red-blooded American, I have been watching FutureWeapons whenever I get the chance.  While showing me some of the niftiest, shiniest, and neatest things that go varying degrees of boom is definitely a good thing, the [...]

I did it again!

  

Woah!  Two weeks in a row, I managed to get this thing out on time, and intact.  So what articles do you have out there that are interesting to you, and you would like to share?  Shoot your [...]

saturday night boredom

Shamelessly… er… borrowed from Electric Venom. 

How have your political views changed since you began blogging?

Hard to say.  I grew up in a rather stringently-conservative family, complete with going to church every Sunday, homeschooling me [...]

for the women out there

Alright, as I said, I now consider 300 to be the yardstick for all future action movies, and a positively outstanding movie in general.  However, travesty though it may be, I could not stop laughing while watching [...]

they all look alike

As I have often professed, I really do not pay a whole lot of attention to the news.  It just tends to really piss me off, get me all annoyed, and reduce my view of the world around me, [...]

how to get from here to there

ver the course of planning for our upcoming trip, we have known about, stumbled upon, and discovered a fair number of useful sites and systems that I thought I would share with you. 

AAA – I have somewhat [...]

planning update

The good news is that Better Half and I have successfully arranged accommodations for ourselves all the way across the country at this point – Sulphur, LA (in the place of Lake Charles – it turns out the latter [...]

thank god almighty!

This might actually be a nice little gadget well worth having yet another gadget (as if that was a cost).  I have to admit, even with a Tivo, my reaction time is sufficiently slow that I still [...]

… two by two …

So, I admit, this is a somewhat cheap way of avoiding having to write anything substantiative today.  I am lazy.  Deal with it.

well i could have told you that

 

You Are 89% Burned Out
You are extremely burned out.
You work too hard, and you’re not getting the results you deserve.

1984 + 24

Alright, so let me preface this with a few comments.  First, I do not, in any way, support Barak Obama.  While he appears to be one of the more moderate Democrats out there, he still supports universal health care, [...]

well, why not?

I am not one who normally goes in for self-help, personal advancement, "seven habits", how-to-make-yourself-better style books/television shows/movies/etc….  I guess I am not yet mature enough to recognize their value, and still view them as condescending attempts at making [...]

on time!

  

Holy flying carp on a stick, I finally got one of these things posted and online… on time.  Or at least, on the date on which I had been planning to do these things all along.  Oh well.  [...]

creativity counts

Not that I really need to remind anyone, but Saint Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and I am happy to say that I am adequately equipped with the prerequisite corned beef roast, cabbage (not that I plan on [...]

petty professor with delusions of standing

Ok, I am not one known to do fiskings…  I find the habit somewhat annoying, and more often than not, atrocious overkill.  However, there are definitely situations that warrant that kind of attention. 

oh look, another day

Happy Ides of March.  And, while I am at it, happy belated Pi Day.  Gotta love fun with [...]

honor and glory

So I just got back from seeing 300 on the big screen…  My only thoughts can be summed up as such:  Holy.  Crap.  I think that movie just became the yardstick by which all other action movies will be [...]

plotting the trackback

  

Alright, so I had been planning on doing these on Sundays, but I seem to be rather sucking at that.  Such is life.  Anywise, if you have anything that you think deserves a little extra attention, feel free [...]

the clock is ticking

well that makes sense

I saw my first Smart car yesterday.  It was doing 90 miles per hour on I-95

Somehow, this does not strike me as being particularly "smart".  [...]

my hero!

Alright, you all know that I like Firefly and Serenity (and if you do not by now, you obviously have not been paying attention). The storyline, the characters, the anachronistic style, everything about it just strikes [...]

now show me that horizon

So, as previously mentioned in other posts, I will be moving out to the People’s Republic of Kalifornistan over the summer, departing sunny northern Florida for… well… something equally sunny, from what I understand.  While I am [...]

trackback kickoff

  

So I confess that I am not entirely sure how this system works, but I figured, in the continuing interest of increasing traffic to my site, I would give it a shot.  Basically, there exist trackback directories, of [...]

so what gives on this second amendment infatuation?

I feel like I am writing some sixth-grade essay on what I did over the summer… Well, off we go. 

First, a little information about myself, seeing as I am one of the more solipsistic people I know. And have one [...]

healthy green shade

… something my website is decidedly lacking in.  Anywise, in the continuing efforts to try and convince this domain of mine to actually make a little money, I have installed Text Link Ads in the upper portion of the [...]

gone beaching

One of the few (only?) advantages of living in northern coastal Florida is the easy access to a plethora of different beaches, be they straight on the ocean, on brackish inlets, or on full-blown marshes.  There is absolutely no shortage [...]
